Didn't know it had to have Mint in it. Just trying to share some images. That may be liked by others.Had a few selected for a couple of the different Ubuntu Distro's default wallpapers and they were just images and no logo's..

Orbmiser, I think your wallpapers look great! I saved the first one and the one with the leaf to my wallpaper collection. Amazing photography! Thank you!

Edit: Just set the first photo as my wallpaper, looks amazing! I do not like branded wallpapers, I like them just the way you presented them. Beautiful work! You are an awesome photographer! Thanks again!

Edit 2: Sent you a pm, fan mail. Also, no need to brand wallpapers, it would spoil the beauty of them. The only branded wallpaper in Mint these days is the default wallpaper. Others that visit here would probably enjoy these beautiful works in other distros they have installed. If someone wants to brand them they can easily do it with Gimp. I really like these wallpapers just the way they are. I am very picky when it comes to backgrounds and I wanted to use the bulb wallpaper the minute I saw it! You have an amazing talent! I hope and want to see more of your work. You are very good at creating photographic wallpapers and you just don't see such high quality work everyday. I am very impressed with your work and abilities. Thanks!

Thanks still tweaking setup and getting need software installed. Learning Darktable for Image editing.About 90% there with themes,software and fine tuning and all. Imported Images and My music and Banshee seem pretty good for it.

not at all, please do so helps to ease the server load and makes our users browsing (specially the ones with slower internet) better. if not using flickr you can still post direct links and use the rimg tag codes.

now enough of technicalities i agree 1000% with exploder: your pictures are awesome

They look pretty nice. Have you considered using Dropbox? There's a free account that doesn't seem to have limitations on file types or individual file sizes and you can put them in the Public area of your Dropbox and share them without problem. That's how I share my customized Fortunes list via my blog, and all I have to do to update it is save the update locally and it gets moved up to the server without my doing anything. With your images you'll need to go to the site to get the specific download link for each image but otherwise I don't see you having any problems sharing wallpapers.

Naw Nixnote is too much a resource hog and thinking of giving up on Evernote for linux. Tho run it on my windows 7 side and on my Android tablet. Just means more work doing the dropbox method.

Just will use here as makes it easy for the user to left click image and right click set as wallpaper from firefox to try them out.Just switched to 849 for a darker Grunge Feel to my desktop.

Thanks for the suggestions tho. As was worried about involvement of other members bothering to respond. As overall the forum is kind of dead with no vibrant activity which surprises me of such an outstanding distro.

Maybe it has to do with minimal amount of issues and problems in Mint ? Which is a Good Thing! But there are High view counts in threads with little interaction which worries me for people that do need help..

The "Drops In The Blue" wallpaper was the icing on the cake for the Fedora Gnome Shell install on my laptop! (had massive graphics card issues on the laptop with Mint....) I of course have Mint 14 Cinnamon on my main desktop with NVidea graphics. I struggled a little getting the theme just right on Fedora and I had the "Drops In The Blue" wallpaper in mind when I was working on the look. The wallpaper made everything come together just right.

Yep too bad wasn't thinking when shooting it for wallpaper. As was shooting it for Getty Stock agency. And I could have gave it a bit more breathing space at the bottom and right side of composition for desktop space.

Free for personal use wallpaper but unfortunately rights reserved by Getty for other uses like including in distro's. As was wanted by Ubuntu in one of their distro's and had to decline due to licensing restrictions. But they selected a couple of others of mine to include in default wallpapers on Ubuntu.
